“^(A)Behold, My ^(a)Servant whom I ^(b)have chosen;
^(B)My Beloved in whom My soul ^(c)is well-pleased;
^(C)I will put My Spirit upon Him,
^(D)And He shall proclaim ^(d)justice to the ^(e)Gentiles.

^{Tools

“^(E)He will not quarrel, nor cry out;
Nor will anyone hear His voice in the streets.

^{Tools

“^(F)A battered reed He will not break off,
And a smoldering wick He will not put out,
Until He ^(f)leads ^(g)justice to victory.

^{Tools
21}

“^(G)And in His name the ^(h)Gentiles will hope.”
